MouRdsrUs Herald.
| have been giving some attention to the
culture of blooded chickens lately. | don't
know exactly what this means but when /
paid a fellow u dollar for two eggs he said
they would hatch out bloOded chickens.
Both were hens, one with pale intellectual
blue-eyes, and the other with a shrinking
school girl disposition. ] set the blue.eyed
hen on a dozen eggs OGmiXed variety, some
easter eggs, and hard boiled eggs. thought
it would be so nice to see the little easter
chickens with pink and blue feathers wan
dering about my yard in childish sport
after lilies and potato bugs. And thought
il would be a good scheme to hatch out
hens that would lay hard boiled eggs. The
easter eggs and hard boiled eggs did not
hatch but o got a smell that would
make ME think | was i'll Wheeling every
time l went near the nest. / threw the
eggs in the river in self defense, for | did
not want q set of chickens running around
my yard with such horrible breath as those
chickens would have been the owner of, if
| allowed the hen to hatch them. She
Matched four little old gold plush covered
chickens that grew from childhood into
maidenhOOd, but not one ever got to be an
old maid. They all settled down into
married lite. One of these hens WAS q
marvel Cf prOpriety. | never saw n girl at
a dance who acted with more decOrum
thar that hen. She had a sad far-away-
look in her eyes and polka dot feathers,
and always seemed TO be thinking ofSome-
thing and seemed To have as much sense
as some people; every time q preacher came
to our house | could see the the tears
streaming from her pale blue eyes and she
would go out in the corner of the hen coop
and apparently engage in prayer. Several
preachers remarked to me that she would
look nice fried and stuffed with oysters.
She would never tiirt like some silly light
minded chickens with the speckled
Shanghai rooster, and she wOuld never
monkey around late at night but was al
ways in her dOwny couch so tOspeak, rOOst-
ing or the fishing pole in the hen coop.
On Sunday she would never cackle but
would walk mp and down the hen yard in
deep meditation and she looked hike she
would like to pass around the hat and take
up a collection OF do something fitting the
occasion. l thought her liver was out of
order, but it was nothing hut deep thought
that allied her. One day she laid an egg
with an editorial on the Political Situation
on it, and next day she laid an egg with
Geographic dispatches on it. / did have q
notion to send her down to New Martins

CONVENTION OF MASTER BUILD
Frs.

Frs.
The National Convention of Master
Builders that has been in session in Chi
cagO the past week has given the people
of the country some important thoughts ON
the industrial situation. This large and
important body Of men have a wide intlu-
ence, not only in f~ashiOning clay, iron and
wood into dwellings for the people of the
land, but may do much toward HARMONIC
ing the owners OF labor and capital that
inhabit them. Ii Was declared in the con-
vention that ''the interests of labor and
capital are mutual, and should not be an
tagonized by any measures, theories, or
influences, " by an equally selCeyideut
thought unfortunately not often asserted
eorOllary: With good will, unity Of pur-
pose, reasonable tOrbearance, and full
recognition of the Just rights of every in-
dividual, success in business, and the hap
pineSS Of the social and family circle can
be largely enhanced if not wholly secured
A nation of home owners is anation that
can stand against the world. The rant of
the Socialist and the Establishments of the
~demagOgre are in such q land but idle
vapOrings. Among the houSeless and
homeless thousands who drift among our
cities flourish the seeds of anarchy as in a
hot bed. 1t issuch that our Government,
and indeed any government, has to fear,
especially when their growth is stimulated
by constituencies mOnQpOlists.
The safety against such growth is found
in keeping the way as easy as possible for
men to acquire homes. 1t has been said,
and as true as gospel it is too that, no
federation OF trades, no league of capital
lists, no party Of politicians can effect per-
manent results in this century or in this
country By other means than those which
lead to an increase in the number of COM
Portable homes. There never has been and
never will be a hapPyabOde Of Communists
upon this earth. Man WAS made to be a
center orr radius of a family circle. The
capitalist who dreams of prosperity in q
nation of homeless ~proletariats is las insane
as the communist who pines tor State
fatherhood and motherhood"
Here is part of a resolution offered in
the convention to which we refer that is
worthy of careful Perusal: '"The encOur-
agement and PRONUNCIATION of a well-de-
vised plan calculated to unseat and, if

LITERARY II

htcr-Sdts Commerce Act An Analysis of its Pro
visions. By John r. Dos Passes. SIX Or PIP.
rs. Cloth. sl.2. g.. Putman's Sons, New
York.
1.-The Subjects involved in the interstate
commerce act are so interesting and the
people of the country are so deeply in
volyed in its results" saws the author in
his preface, that no apology need be made
for this treatise, which embraces n history
of the law, an analysis of its different pro-
visions, As well as other matters generally
connected with the subject" The book is
written by a member of the New York bar,
well known rs q writer IN ''the legal aspect
of questions of the day" and will for that
reason commend itself at once to legislators
and those interested in the subject of the
interstate commerce act. 1t aims to give
q complete Interpretation Of a law which
has now become famous, and shows, to
some extent, what its probable effect will
be upon the prosperity and progress of the
country, and upon the business and
finaneiaLinterests of the railroad corpora
tons. Mr.. DOs Passos ventures the asser-
ton that in view Of the fact that this move
Of the National Legislature is one strongly
toward the direction of Capitalization OF
power in the hands of the Federal Govern
ment, the next natural step must be the
purchase and absolute control, by the same
power, of all this vast railroad property.
Among the topics discussed are the history
of the interstate legislation; TO what COM
mon carriers the act applies; rates, charges,
and fares which common carriers may COL
lecs; the aSts which the common carrier is
prohibited from doing by the interstate
commerce bill, &c. Altogether, it is a
valuable book, we'll worth attention by all
at this time.

jest on an infare dinner that Mrs. Maggie My =

such dinner people don't oftsn sit down to;
and We did eat and joke to our hearts and appe-
tites content. Everybody did enjoy themselves
hugely. And again on Sabbath following Mrs .
Close stewed an obstropolOus gobbler down to
a very toothsome condition for few of the
above named persons, and we had one more
day of fessting and TESTING and sociable enjoy
ment. We wonder and think, when will we
ever hsye another such a good time. Kansas
and her citizens can discount all other countries
for right down solid enjoyment, and We are
nearly all good feeders and jokcrs. q. w.

rHR GREAT cRYPToaRAM.

R. s. Peale & Co., Chicago, the pub
fishers of Ignatious Donnelly's forth.
coming book "The Great Cryptogram''
in which the author promises to sat
isfy the world that Francis Bacon is
the real author of the plays heretofore
attributed to one, William Saakspere,
announce that the interest manifested
in the book is phenomenal, the ap.
plications from agents and alse for sim
gle copies coming in faster than they
can be attended to. The only thing
approaching it in the manifestation Of
popular interest was General Grants
personal Memoirs" This latter work
however, appealed only to one section
of the country, comparatively few
copies being sold south Of Mason and
Dixon's line, whereas Mr.. Donnelly's
startling announcement has excited
the entire literary world, and all ARE
anxiously awaiting the appearance Of
this book. There was also a great
drawback to the sale of Grants book
in the fact that there were in the field
at the time not less than twenty.six
other books of competitive character,
very many Of them calculated to de-
ceive the public by cunningly conceiv.
ed titles closely resembling the gen.
uine book. The fact that no imitation
of Mr.. Donnelly's work can possibly
appear is of especial interest, as "The
Great. Cryptogram" will be sold ex-
clusively by subscription.
